Relax, Germany Is Going To Eliminate Unemployment until 2020

In what has to be one of the most... creative campaign promises in quite a while, Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier unveils the "Deutschland Plan," wherein he will eliminate unemployment by 2020. True, there are no specific term-limits attached to the position of Chancellor in Germany, but planning out to 2020 is an awfully optimistic reach.

Green jobs and health care are slated to create 4 million new jobs under the plan. Sound familiar?

Let's just extend unemployment from 79 weeks to 790 weeks. And raise taxes. And stop polluting. And turn healthcare over to the government. And borrow a few dozen trillion dollars. That should put the economy into overdrive.

Historians will look back at this period and say "See what happens when too many people do drugs."
